Do you wish to improve your wildlife photography skills? Join wildlife photographer, Matthew Bode, in this photography workshop designed to take your photography to the next level. He will share some important techniques and tips to help give you photographs that you can be proud of. This workshop will take place over two sessions. You must be able to attend BOTH sessions to register for this workshop. Spaces are limited.
Session 1 will take place online via Zoom on Thursday evening, May 9th from 6:30-8:00 PM.
Session 2 – Bring your camera to the Refuge for a learning field session. It will take place at the Refuge Headquarters on Saturday, May 18th from 1:00-3:00 PM.
“For the first virtual workshop scheduled May 9th, we’ll be focusing on a few elements of exposure, specifically geared towards bird photography. The workshop will review aperture, creative differences in shutter speeds, and how to manage ISO. A set of recommended settings will be provided to help users get started in this creative yet technical hobby. This workshop will also analyze composition, providing basic guidelines to create appealing images and how to capture them for wildlife. The composition discussion will delve into understanding perspectives, achieving and maintaining focus, and making backgrounds and foregrounds. This virtual workshop will be an instrumental preparation step for the in-person bird photography workshop scheduled for May 18th, where we will reinforce these concepts firsthand at an MNWR site.” ~Matthew Bode
